New music on Robert Smith's birthday?

As we know now, no, looks like the announcement is April 21st, release on June 13th.



Robert Smith turns 66 on Monay, and The Cure's "MOALW": "Mixes of a Lost World" is also scheduled to be released that same day.

A social media post by The Cure is causing joy among fans of Robert Smith and the band. On Friday (April 18), the Cure posted two photos and a snippet captioned "IV-XXI-MMXXV," which would have been Robert Smith's 66th birthday on April 21, 2025. In the past, the Cure boss has used his birthday to release albums (like "Wish" in 1992), thus giving himself and us presents.

The first image shows a mixing console. On it is a cassette tape cover (Note: This is wrong, it's the back of the ipod.) and the labels "Cure" and "MOALW." This could/should be the abbreviation for "Mixes of a Lost World." A remix album of the eight songs from the studio album "Songs of a Lost World," released last November.

Image two shows an iPod Classic, Robert Smith's favorite storage device (he said in an interview that he has several). Zooming in on the display reveals song titles like "All I Ever Am" with the remix caption "65 Slow Chord Version."

Finally, photo 3 shows a short music video, probably a remix of a Cure song from “Songs of a Lost World”.


Here's a closer look at those images:

"That’s what makes live shows so extraordinary," the guitarist says. "You’re always on the high wire”
